Quote	Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his dozen Republican allies are desperate to stop reform before it goes into effect, reasoning that once subsidies start to go to help uninsured people buy policies, it will be impossible to stop the program. Put another way: Once Americans who could never get affordable health insurance begin to get it, and the 85% of Americans who are mostly unaffected by the law realize it's not the freedom-robbing boogeyman they've been told it is, ObamaCare might actually become popular.
